Last night my brilliant pal @ben_ireland_11 and I won a British Journalism Award for investigations into the state of mental health services and the impact of austerity politics on communities. It hasn't quite sunk in. Thank you to everyone who trusts us to tell their stories.

Forget the penalties. So much to be positive and proud about tonight. This is a team capable of going places with a growing array of talented options through the squad. Lots stepped up this evening. On to Saturday. #NFFC

Phenomenal point. Absolute warriors one and all. Led by Ryan Yates, who is making himself thoroughly at home at Premier League level. Particular credit to Matz Sels - who is quickly criticised by many - but kept us in that game on many occasions today. COYR. #NFFC

Whatever happens now - and I know we could lose 4-2 - if you haven't seen enough to give Ange time, I can't relate. Best half of football for years after two weeks with the players. Let's get behind it and see where we can go. #NFFC

Regardless of the rights and wrongs of the decision, this is a strikingly classless way to end the tenure of our best manager since Frank Clark, and someone who has invested in, and engaged with our supporters and our city like Steve Cooper. He deserves much better. #NFFC

This cannot be how we go about things. I'm absolutely livid - gutted and angry - and about to dive into a bottle of red wine to find some solace. But this is beyond classless. This is for supporters to be tweeting, not football clubs. #NFFC

Unbeaten after five. Four points from Liverpool and Brighton away. New recruits have added serious options/quality, and the management team are adapting in-game to find solutions to problems. We look like we can give anyone at the level a game - a positive season beckons. #NFFC

Tomorrow we show everyone: our owners, the media, and the rest of the footballing world what Steve Cooper means to this football club and us supporters. We wouldn't be here without him, and we should be sticking with him regardless. Let's make the City Ground rock. #NFFC

In the light of recent events I've written this piece about my relationship with Steve Cooper - and what his Nottingham Forest have meant to me. thefamousclub.co.uk/2023/04/05/me-… #NFFC

Me, my son and Steve Cooper
Sometimes football is much more than 22 players on a pitch. Sometimes it offers a sense of belonging, community and hope

So much for Rebel City. So much for this place oozes football soul. The custodians of this football club are chasing a 'dream' which ends with us playing in a library in front of people who weren't there when the club needed them. Just another hollow club. #NFFC

Today was rubbish. But please don't forget where we have come from. And don't forget what the journey has meant. Forget money spent and 'ambition', Steve Cooper has taken us beyond our imaginations despite huge change and challenge. He brings joy. Stick with it. Cooper IN. #nffc

Forget the result. That was a performance which showed how far we have come. We were much the better side against a top 3 team. We were excellent off the ball and showed great progress on it. A brilliant performance and an unjust result - that's football sometimes. #nffc
